Documents attached to a search warrant in the case cite the Marine's mother as saying Lauterbach had been the victim of a sexual assault by a superior officer.
Hell Yea, you betcha you're emotionally needy, 1st time pregnancy and that Sh** to boot?
snip -
Makes me wonder even more if the Officer accused of the SA isn't the child's biological father.
Lauterbach may have been due to give birth on January 8, Brown said, and he said if possible she should come forth to get the help and support of family, friends and medical professionals.
"You can't run from those things in life," Brown said in comments directed toward the missing Marine.
Police documents say that shortly before Lauterbach disappeared, her mother had talked to the Marine about giving up the baby once it was born.
Ok, first I hate adoption language like that - you give up a puppy, a toy, smoking, not a baby! ahem, off the soapbox - Are they trying to make it look like she disappeared on her own accord?
Why hasn't she been reported as awol or whaever it is called? I mean, after all aren't you considered a runaway basically if you dn't report where you're supposed to be? (I don't much at all about military sorry!)
